Establishes Department of Energy.
This bill (A 3610) creates a new Department of Energy within New Jersey's Executive Branch to coordinate state energy policy. It establishes a Commissioner of Energy (appointed by the Governor) to lead the department, which will unify energy-related functions across state agencies and support the Board of Public Utilities. Key responsibilities include advancing clean energy and electric vehicle programs, helping agencies meet energy and emissions goals, and developing plans for energy crises. The department directly affects state agencies, utility regulators, and New Jersey residents/businesses through its role in shaping energy policy and programs.
